The Dallas Mavericks know that the road to winning their second banner is anything but easy. The Celtics have the best regular-season record in the league, and their postseason performances justify the odds they received from bookies.
However, the Mavericks are confident of their chances as long as they have Luka Doncic suiting up against the C’s.
The Slovenian superstar has been unstoppable throughout the postseason, and he’s going to be the biggest player the Celtics must contain if they want to add a second banner to the rafters of the American Airlines Center.
Doncic is such a key player for the Mavs this season that he got comparison to one of the most effective playoff performers the NBA ever saw.
Colin Cowherd compares Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic to Michael Jordan
Colin Cowherd is among the fans who are thoroughly impressed with Doncic’s performance over the playoffs.
He noted that Luka has only been in the league six years, but the performance he’s shown over the years convince the sports media personality that Doncic plays like Michael Jordan during the most important moments of the season.
“I don’t just throw out the MJ thing. This is what MJ looked like.”

He insists that he doesn’t bring up MJ that often when talking about other players, so for him to mention Luka in the same breath as His Airness is a major compliment from him.
The Dallas Mavericks find it hard to win basketball games without Doncic. He’s the lynchpin for the Mavs this postseason, averaging 28.8 points, 9.6 rebounds, 8.8 assists, and 1.6 steals through 17 games. Bagging a near triple-double on a nightly basis shows how critical his role is for the Mavs.
The Celtics will not be easy opponents as they have Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown also playing great basketball. However, they have a shot at the title as long as Luka is playing like the next on-court incarnation of MJ.
